importation of Eggs.

In 1876 the United States imported about
hve million dczen of eggs, but IN 1855 the
quantity had increased TO sixteen million
dozen. representing money value of two
and half millions of dollars every psnnv
of which had to be paid in gold coin. Al
this rate of increase we sh ould pay to foreign
countries during fifty years, for the single
item of eggs. An amount more than equal TO
the present national debt. But the importa-
tion OF eggs must very soon cease. The dis
covery of Sheridan's Powder to make hens
lay, has already Increased the supply of eggs
10 very appreciable extent. and 1t seems
safe to assume that the continued use Of this
powder will double the egg product within
five years. By the persistent and intelligent
use of Sheridan's Powder. hens are made to
lay nearly the entire year and especially dur
ing the season when eggs bring the highest
price. This fact has encouraged thousands
# people to go into the business who would
not otherwise have done 40. 1t 10 not
necessary to have farm to keep hens on,
as many suppose. Hens NAV be kept con-
venientiy and probably in a large and
crowded city. In fact the whole business of
